I was there in seventy six. My mary anna crop was burned to a crisp. And so was I. It was no comparison to this year.

I don't grow that stuff any more, but I needed to do very little watering on my allotment this year. If that's a record UK year, give me more.

It could. Now all you have to do is prove it. So far you (and everybody else in the AGW religious camp) has failed to do so. It's all speculation and computer models that don't actually model the climate at all.

It's just as likely at this point that the increase in rainfall is an indicator of the beginning of a new period of glaciation.

Macdoc, that is a really dumb post, even for you.
What the fuck does a wet winter have to do with me not having to water my allotment in the summer?

You really struggle with the simple stuff, don't you?

As usual journalists forget that the eastern coast isn't Australia, not all of it anyway. It's been nice and cool, mostly, over here in the west.

Apart from a few 40°C+ days, spring has been unusually mild in my little South Australian town too this year.
